What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Wow..what is that cake supposed to be? I don't see anything recognizable! Oh wait..I think I see a bunny in there somewhere. Sort of in the middle but to the left a bit. Anyone else?? Is it an ink blot cake? I'm baffled and certainly wouldn't pay money for this!!

I also saw the cake and immediately thought of my favorite blood spatter analyst by day, serial killer by night, and very sexy Dexter! It just needs some red string to show us the direction of the blows. "You must have been a mother at cats cradle" ~Bautista

It was a calm day in the kitchen until Stacey saw Jeff's latest "design." It was more than she could take since it was part of a theme: he'd recently sent out a "Hapy Brithady" cake and a pile of poo he had called a "chocolate mountain." But no more."Hey, Jeff...your piping looks a bit off maybe you'd like some help?""No, Stacey. I'm Okay." Jeff said as he reached for some curling ribbon. And hen something snapped in Stacey and she grabbed a knife from the counter and started wildly swinging at Jeff. "No more Wrecks! What's wrong with you?! Holes in fondant, misspellings, no perspective!!!" Jeff's body fell to the floor like a sack of flour, the curling ribbon still clutched in his hand. Stacey looked at the mess, and then at the cake. It was splattered with Jeff's blood. She got a spatula so she could fix the cake but then she stopped. No, she thought, she wouldn't change a thing on it and she smiled as she readied it for the display case. This would be Jeff's last contribution to the world of cakes.

OK....besides it being a complete bloody mess.....if I squint my eyes I can see an angel holding a Christmas tree in the top left corner, a reindeer in the top right corner, and Santa's sleigh on the bottom. But when I unsquint my eyes I see that someone bled all over the cake. Gross....**love the Dexter comments!**
